It was also the home of people physically indistinguishable from humans today, commonly known as the Cro-Magnons. Our knowledge of them comes from either their skeletons or the tools, art, and debris they left behind. This book tells the story of these dynamic and resilient people in light of recent scientific advances. Trenton Holliday-a paleoanthropologist who has studied the Cro-Magnons for decades-explores questions such as: Where and when did anatomically modern humans first emerge? When did they reach Europe, and via what routes? How extensive or frequent were their interactions with Neandertals? What did Cro-Magnons look like? What did they eat, and how did they acquire their food? What can we learn about their lives from studying their skeletons? How did they deal with the glacial cold? What does their art tell us about them? Holliday offers new insights into these ancient people from anthropological, archaeological, genetic, and geological perspectives. He also considers how the Cro-Magnons responded to Earth's post-glacial warming almost 12,000 years ago, showing that how they dealt with climate change holds valuable lessons for us as we negotiate life on a rapidly warming planet"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Cro-Magnons. 650 0 $a Paleoanthropology. 650 0 $a Glacial epoch. 650 0 $a Human beings $x Effect of climate on. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Holliday, Trenton. $t Cro-magnon $d New York : Columbia University Press, 2023 $z 9780231555777 $w (DLC) 2022054948 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20231103011704.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E2271B3C4D4311EEBB1CF29156ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
